    Did you push yourself? Yes. 40 mins. is the longest walk I have been on so far. We walked along the river which has several inclines, etc. I also did crunches with my husband while he was working out to P90X.

    Did you push yourself? It has been a very stressful day. Found out I have metabolic syndrome (a.k.a. insulin resistance). Very sunburned from yesterday so it a lot of pain, too. I was in survival mode today. I pushed myself to eat healthy.

    What will you need to change to reach your goal? Get more of this weight off, work out more, take the Metformin the dr. prescribed for the metabolic syndrome.

    Did you push yourself? As much as I could. I feel like I keep making excuses but it is what it is. Metformin has some unpleasant side effects that usually end after a few weeks. The bike ride was about as much as I could take.
